Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method to manage an opportunistic communication network (100) comprising a plurality of terminals (101, 102,.., 107, 108), each of said terminals (101, 102,.., 107, 108) being able to transmit a message to an intermediate neighboring terminal when a connection is established with said intermediate neighboring terminal, wherein it comprises: - the step of identifying each terminal (100) through a node ranked with a value (RV) derived from both a social parameter, based on established contacts of the terminal user in a social network (200), and a communication parameter, based on established connections of said terminal (101, 102,.., 107, 108) in the opportunistic network (100), - the step for a transmitting terminal, establishing a connection with an intermediate neighboring terminal, to compare the rankings (RV) of their respective identifying nodes so that the message is transmitted to the intermediate neighboring terminal if the ranking value of the node identifying said intermediate neighboring terminal is higher than the ranking value of the node identifying the transmitting terminal.
